What Sinanian Development does

Sinanian Development, Inc. is a privately held, full-service construction and development company headquartered in Tarzana, California, founded in 1983. The firm delivers general construction, construction management, and integrated design/build services for multi-dwelling residential, commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, and public-sector clients, including tenant improvements, renovation, seismic retrofit, and adaptive reuse. Its portfolio spans more than 100 documented projects across Southern California and the Central Coast, with sustained concentration in education (LAUSD, Los Angeles City College, West LA College, El Camino College) and municipal/public safety work (LADOT, LAPD, fire stations, libraries, animal care centers). The firm has built differentiated expertise in LEED-certified delivery, with projects completed at Platinum (LADOT Bus Maintenance Facility, LA Mission College Culinary Arts Institute), Gold (Topanga Police Station, multiple West LA College buildings), and Silver levels.

The company's underlying technology stack is built on industry-standard construction tools rather than proprietary platforms: Procore is used for project organization (RFIs, submittals, inspections, drawings, specifications, transmittals), and Building Information Modeling (BIM) supports project management and as-built documentation. Sinanian monetizes through fee-based construction contracts — one-time project awards for general construction and professional-services fees for construction management and design/build engagements — with revenue driven by competitive-bid wins, negotiated private work, and repeat institutional relationships. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales with public-sector clients acquired through competitive bidding platforms such as BuildingConnected and private developers engaged through direct relationships.
